Botsch, MarioKobbelt, Leif2015-02-162015-02-1620031467-8659https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-8659.00696We propose a new representation for multiresolution models which uses volume elements enclosed between thedifferent resolution levels to encode the detail information. Keeping these displacement volumes locally constantduring a deformation of the base surface leads to a natural behaviour of the detail features. The correspondingreconstruction operator can be implemented efficiently by a hierarchical iterative relaxation scheme, providingclose to interactive response times for moderately complex models.Based on this representation we implement a multiresolution editing tool for irregular polygon meshes that allowsthe designer to freely edit the base surface of a multiresolution model without having to care about self-intersectionsin the respective detailed surface. We demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the reconstructionby several examples with real-world data.10.1111/1467-8659.00696483-491
